Would you go skydiving with Bush?

[JJR]

Bush's former president dad went skydiving at 70 (when Jr. never has), and it seems to me that the real cause of the useless aristocracy syndrome that destroys a civilization is the kids. That's right, the bratty spoiled kids of guys who at least can work and hustle a little to earn a buck. The kids had it easy with the silver spoon and then inherrit the company and don't know what to do. Woe to the stockholders. The same thing happenes so much with young officers who don't know what they are doing that it's a cliche and a tradition in the military to not quite trust them to know what is up.

So . . . let's fix the problem. Next time I see Bush I'll ask him if we can go skydiving some time like his Dad instead of asking him if I can go into space. Hey, maybe that's a bit too juvinile.

LET'S GO SKYDIVING YEAH!!!

Gibberish.

I had the chance to be next to Bush Jr on a plane waiting to jump out, I would be giving him an earful of what I think of his administration. I would also much rather go hunting with Cheney than driving with Ted Kennedy.

Whatever. I can guarantee you that Natural Selection works. Just hypothetically, if I were to abduct Bush in some kind of circular hovercar (later telling witnesses it might be a UFO) and once he is inside begin to dramatically educate him he would become born again hard and fairhanded with a more or less even temper or he would die.

If you hate him, you'll be glad he's dead. If you find him just stupid, he will be smarter. All things are possible if you have the ability to just make people listen. Knowledge is power, man.

Fear, sloth, and indifference are what cause sheeple to ignore the wise and keep their brains at minimum power. Perhaps that, and the ignorance of what illumination awaits in the glorious world outside of ther cubicle.

Even if that cubicle happenes to be the White House. Plug in. Take a ride on the information superhighway, dude.

Yet more gibberish. Further, you seem to have absolutely no understanding of natural selection.

Actually in college there was a rather nice illustration of a bird eating moths. The bird ate the more brightly collored moths, leaving the duller moths to reproduce. The duller moths blended into the background.

 

[Nitpick]

... leaving the duller moths to reproduce. The duller moths blended into the background.

Well yes, that's one possibility of how things might evolve in a certain case, but evolution is more complex than that: some insects will still display vivid colors, e.g.
- to attract mating partners (despite the increased danger of being eaten)
- to warn that they are poisonous and so avoid being eaten
- to "pretend" that they are poisonous (even tough they're not) and thus avoid being eaten too

It would be impossible to predict beforehand which "strategy" will work better.
("strategy" in quotes as none of these involves any degree of consciousness, of course)

Totally, and what I meant is that when Bush is abducted by "aliens" for the common good, the Clockwork Orange session swiftly following this will be done to the tune of a hickory stick with the intent of making or breaking a world leader. Adapt or die. This may sound flamboyant or provocative, but is happening every day all around us . . . and in every drop of water on the microscopic level.

You seem absolutely incapable of making any sense whatsoever.

Your statement is devoid of fluid intelligence imho. Please stop relying so much on episodic and procedural memory if possible.

So are we going to beat Dubya with the stick in the hovercraft before or after we go skydiving?

Incidentally, it so happens that I was playing the board game Clue earlier, and I guessed George W. Bush in the hovercraft with the hickory stick. Unfortunately I had made a slight error in my deductions.

The correct answer was Col. Mustard in the study with the candlestick.

I was so close!

How 'bout we skydive, aim for the hovercraft . . . slide in while in freefall, then I beat the crap outta him and take his money? I'll immediately feed a bunch of homeless teens and other folks with the dough and just keep partying and educating.

Oh, I see. You’re a narcissist. Great.

Not likely. We all look the same when we're in the cave at the beach covered in mud.

Brb. Gotta go smoke.

He makes sense. You don't like the sense he's making. I personally don't care either way...and I certainly don't take it personal.

Besides, Bush is in pretty good shape for an old fart. He might just kick JJR's butt.

Oh, and JJR, remember that HW was also born with a silver spoon. But don't let that distract you from your muse. I find it entertaining.

 

[Tony]

No, I'd wax first.

No matter how much you dislike a person, you never wish death upon them... That is just cruel...

The only people I can even think that I would ever wish dead are OBL and Hitler.....

Actually, with enough stimulation I think most people can be saved . . . not in a religious sense, but they can be made to accept the basic rules needed for a thriving society. In some cases this can't be done, true, and capital punishment is the best remedy we have.
